EDWARD WOODWARD was hugely talented, a sensitive, accomplished actor, and always a treat to see in anything. I was also a fan of "The Equalizer" because of WOODWARD's fantastic characterization. Good night EDWARD, your work stands the test of time.

I can truly say that Mr Woodward was truly a nice guy ~ despite all the bad-ass enforcers he played like Callan and Robert McCall (some people say that these two are actually the same character) ~ because I wrote him a fan letter years back, asking his thoughts on Breaker Morant and he replied to me. I'll bet he even typed the letter himself.

I'm writing a review of Hot Fuzz for this site ~ I loved the film and the review will be dedicated to him.

I just had an idea ~ I have to come up with the titles for our yearly film screenings in Bloemfontein. As Breaker Morant is a film about South Africa and its' release date is within the time frame we're covering, I'm going to put that title forward for 2010 both as a film people would like to see and as a tribute to Edward Woodward.

Errrmmmm...... I just discovered that the archives only has a Betamax tape of the film.......

Hi Trevor, I appreciate the depth of your thoughtfulness. My own gut tells me, BREAKER MORANT, though an important and challenging film, a masterpiece really, is perhaps too challenging anyway.... That film is a heartbreaker, a showstopper, and a challenger.

I recently saw The Wicker Man for the first time but didn't realize that it was the same guy from The Equalizer. I used to watch that show with my parents when I was little. The intro to that show always stuck with me. It's sad to see him go.
